News Guitarist Dino Cazares of Los Angeles cyber metallers FEAR FACTORY has begun demoing material for the band's next album, tentatively due in early 2012 via an as-yet-undetermined record label.

News Hard as it is to believe, we've been doing this here blogging thing for nearly five years (wtf???). We've scored interviews with our heroes, we've had the privilege of premiering new music to the world before anyone else, we've gotten you guys all riled up with countdown lists, we've sponsored megatours and we've even released [...]

News New DREAM THEATER drummer Mike Mangini has issued the following update from the band's current European tour: "I'm stunned at the crowds on this tour.

News Mistress Carrie of the Worcester/Boston, Massachusetts radio station WAAF recently conducted an interview with guitarist/vocalist Gavin Rossdale of the reformed British alternative rock band BUSH.

News What an awesomely massive week for Today is the Day fans. Just this past Monday, the new and improved TITD released the title track for their new album, Pain is a Warning, as a free download; now they're streaming another new track, "The Devil's Blood," over at Revolver. I'm a little wary of saying too [...]

News Spurred by a lazy crossword clue in The Onion (36 down, four letters: "Faith No More's only hit"), MetalSucks contributo r Anso DF dedicates every single day in August to celebration and exploration of the San Francisco alt-metal greats. Here we prove that history's greatest band landed more than one commercial hit (crossword answer: "Epic" natch), we revel in FNM's [...]

News I realize that videos like this do nothing but give more ammo to those who say shredders are a dime a dozen, but still, I can't help but be ridiculously impressed by this kid's skills. Maybe one day he'll put them to greater use by writing his own compositions and changing metal for the better [...]

News Atlanta progressive metallers MASTODON will release their new album, "The Hunter", on September 27.

News STAR & DAGGER, the band featuring former WHITE ZOMBIE bassist Sean Yseult, has just finished mixing its new album, "Tomorrowland Blues", with Ethan Allen and Dave Catching at the helm.

News Here's some news which ought to absolutely make your day: MetalSucks is proud to present the 2011 Carnival is Forever North American tour, Decapitated's first headlining tour since releasing their mind-blowingly good comeback album, Carnival is Forever, last month. And while the chance to see the always-incredible Decapitated alone should be enough to get your [...]

News There are many awesome things about touring. You get to see new places, make new friends, hang with old ones, get free booze (sometimes), develop sweet guns from lugging gear around (Seriously, you should see my biceps. I'm straight-up Amazonian by this point.), make a little money (sometimes) and, if you're lucky, get to listen [...]

News Axl did one. Vince did one. Even Corey did one. So, of course, I've gotta do one, right? 2011 has been a pretty decent year for hardcore so far, with solid releases from artists old and new. Unsurprisingly, then, my picks at this point in the year reflect that dynamic. I intentionally excluded EPs (Jello [...]

News Those doomy mofos over at Southern Lord have done it again, this time in the form of a ridiculously killer tour lineup dubbed The Power of the Riff: the trek spans five dates across California and Washington later this month and will feature Pentagram, Eyehategod, Pelican, Trap Them, Black Cobra, Early Graves and many, many [...]

News I've been a long-time (and rather outspoken) fan of the glam revival that is sleaze metal, but I can quite honestly say that "Hot," by Reckless Love, is one of the worst songs I've heard all year. It doesn't get much fluffier than Reckless Love. They're literally modern-day hair metal; all looks and no substance. [...]

News The Metallica-themed edition of the board game Monopoly costs more than twice as much as "classic" Monopoly, but the extra cash is totes worth it, 'cause the game comes with pieces that are vaguely related to Metallica, and all the real state has now been named after the band's songs! Still, some people were bound [...]

News Last week we focused on the complete inertia of modern rock radio over the past 10 years, as manifested in the top ten selling records of the week. Rest assured, all ten of those releases are still selling well... no need to re-hash them in this space again. Instead let's look at newer records, including [...]

News Here's the best new song you'll hear all day, and possibly all week: "Singularity," the first officially-released track off of Textures' new album, Dualism. (There was a live bootleg of a different new tune earlier this summer, but obviously the quality of this studio recording is a million times better.) As part of my awesome [...]

News I hated Angel Down so much that I kind of naturally assumed that Sebastian Bach's new solo album, Kicking & Screaming, would also be a shitfest. (The cover art wasn't especially reassuring, either.) But now Revolver has debuted the music video for the title track, and the song is really not that terrible. I mean, it's [...]

News We're less than two weeks away from the release of Chimaira's The Age of Hell! Are you excited? You oughta be. No shock: the album rocks in a major, major way. It also takes what I think are some HUGE creative risks, which I'll discuss more once I've had some time to better digest the [...]

News Sorry for being late this week, as some external problems prevented me from publishing on time. There's really not a whole lot coming out this week, which is fine, because we've had a ton of killer releases over the past few months. Anyways, on to the reviews. Battlecross – Pursuit Of Honor (Metal Blade) The [...]
